I know of one by a fine young Finnish pianist named Antti Siirala which
also contains transcriptions of Schubert songs by Godowsky, Prokofiev
and Rachmaninov, besides Liszt's.

It includes the stupendous Leopold Godowsky 'Passacaglia' based on the
opening notes of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, although my favorite
version of that is by Marc-Andre Hamelin here:
